Which will prevail? Xbox Power or Playstation Speed?

The more I go outside Vgchartz and see what the internet thinks of the specs between the two....the more I’m convinced multiplats will have a resolution and or FPS disparity between PS5/series x.

The sentiment is that the ssd overall can’t compensate for a weaker cpu and GPU. Too many factors favor the series x for the ssd to make up the gap. And the series x also has a ssd...I mean the only way I can believe the ssd clinging is if Xbox didn’t have one.

What "internet" you mean?

XB focused sites? Forums full of people that don't know what they are talking about (like here)?

Nowhere in the internet people should be able to tell you the PS5 SSD will make up for its lower specs, as we simply don't know.

Now when you have people actually working with it saying it, it might be worth taking notice, but only believe it when you see it.

As of now the gap is in XSX favor and that's undisputed.

What we are doing here is wondering how much can actually be done for games on each platform.

If the PS5 SSD is such a big deal to outweight it that will be quite surprising for me, for example, as I don't understand how much it and the console being designed around it can mean for game development.

But if it does not, discussion around how much the system and games can benefit from it is still good discusion regardless.

People are too extreme, either the PS5 sucks or the PS5 SSD is a miracle technology that makes the XSX obsolete... that's not how things work.

Can't we be excited about those consoles without needing to try to prove how much it have to take away from the other?

Reddit, Youtube but especially tech sites that aren’t governed by gaming bias. The ssd can load things faster but the graphics and processing  ceiling is simply lower then Series X. Im not a tech guy but that’s the general sentiment. 

You speaking a lot of sense and practicality, but unfortunately you can’t speak for the fans as a whole. It’s human nature to create rivalries among each other. More importantly you can’t expect the internet to “wait and see games in action to make an informed consensus”. We bicker and compare with whatever we have and when new news is available the narratives and arguments shift like the wind.

I think it’s unfair for PS fans to mock Xbox for literally years but when the shoe is on the other foot me and others are expected to take some kind of moral high ground? I understand the forum rules and I would never outright mock others here, but I will call out hypocrisy when I see it, as others may call me out on it.
